EVERYDAY STEWARDSHIP -

RECOGNIZE GOD IN YOUR ORDINARY

MOMENTS "You were created on purpose for a purpose."

That may sound like pop psychology gibberish

to you at first, but it is the truth. Modern studies

into strengths and gifts, along with constantly

new understandings of the complex wonder of

DNA, lead us to conclude that each human

being is truly unique. You hold within you a

unique set of gifts that cannot be duplicated in

the same way by another. What your parents

may have told you about snowflakes growing

up holds true for people too: No two are exactly

alike.

However, we often live our lives in such a way

that gives testimony to a falsity, that is, any-

body can do just about any job. Positions in the

workforce and in our parishes are filled with

people who only fulfill one requirement for the

job: they have warm bodies. (Meaning, they are

not dead.) There are two realities that create

this problem. First, we ask people to do things

they are not equipped to do. We tell them to

work harder at it and eventually they will get it.

But I can guarantee that no matter how hard I

try, I will not be able to lead an NBA team to a

title. Sounds ludicrous on that level. But I as-

sure you, it is no more ludicrous than asking

someone that doesn't really like children to

teach elementary catechesis. Second, we our-

selves sometimes believe that we have nothing

special to offer. We go through life having no

idea what our gifts are and how to give of them.

We take dead-end jobs and rarely share our-

selves with the community. But you may just

be the answer to a business or parish problem

that, to some, seems unsolvable.

On this Labor Day weekend, thank God for

the gifts you have received. Use them to elevate

your labor, both in the workplace and in the

parish. If you don't know how, there is help out

there. You are not like everybody else. God has

given you a purpose.

WHY DO WE DO THAT? -

CATHOLIC TRADITIONS EXPLAINED

Question: On Labor Day, we honor the worker and the role of labor

in the social and economic development of our country. What does

the Church say about labor?

Labor has been the cornerstone of the social justice teaching of the

Church. At the very beginning of the labor movement, Pope Leo XIII

wrote an encyclical letter called "Rerum Novarum," that for many

years was seen as a masterpiece of work, bringing traditional Catholic

teaching to the new problems that the Industrial Revolution brought

to the workplace. In fact, this document was so significant that later

popes issued encyclicals on its anniversary: Pope Pius XI wrote

"Quadragesimo Anno" and St. John XXIII, "Mater et Magistra." Paul

VI issued "Octagesima Adveniens," and St. John Paul II wrote

"Laborem Exercens" and "Centesimus Annus." More recently, Bene-

dict XVI added his voice with "Caritas in Veritate" in 2009, while

Pope Francis has made the dignity of the worker a hallmark of his

pontificate. Throughout these writings the teaching of the Church re-

mains consistent concerning the dignity of workers, the right to a fair

wage, the importance of housing, and the duty to take care of those

who are in need. In 1967, Pope Paul VI wrote in "Populorum

Progressio" that work "is something willed and approved by God...

God gave man intelligence, sensitivity and the power of thought--

tools with which to finish and perfect the work He began. Every

worker is, to some extent, a creator--be he artist, craftsman, execu-

tive, laborer or farmer" (#27).

LIVE THE LITURGY -

INSPIRATION FOR THE WEEK Understanding God's ways and intentions is very

difficult. We even have difficulty grasping the

complexities of human existence! We need God's

wisdom and the guidance of the Holy Spirit in order

to walk straight on the path of discipleship. Even as

we seek God's wisdom and guidance, are we really

prepared to pay the possible price of discipleship?

Making a choice to follow the Lord requires much

preparation and assessment.

Any one wishing to join in helping make items for the bazaar we will

have small groups to work together, what a wonderful way to enjoy each

others ideas, and get to know more of our parishioners. If interested in

joining in call either Jeanette Wolff 715-253-2931,

or Marge Mech 715-253-2063.

Bazaar date is Oct. 15. Excepting donations and help.

Next CCW Meeting is:

Thursday September 8,

hope to see you then.

CCW is sponsoring the annual' Lick Family Violence Campaign' This

will be held October 9 at Holy Family-St. William parish. All proceeds

are sent to Safe Haven Women Shelter in Shawano.
